56. Rose Factory

Chapter 166

Tang Erda took a deep breath and stood up with the sack. He started to pick the roses quickly, his movements fast and sharp. He still looked a bit unskilled and clumsy but the number of roses in the sack was growing quickly. At the very least, it was much faster than the speed at which Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi worked together to pick them.

After all, he was a strong man who was good at doing physical work. There was a certain gap between him and a child like Liu Jiayi or a corporate drone like Bai Liu who sat in front of a computer and worked 996 all the time.

Then as Tang Erda's sack of dry leaf roses was half full, there was sudden commotion in the surrounding flower fields. It was as if there was some animal creeping on the soil of the flower field, quickly moving its limbs and approaching him.

The sound of fine, sticky and dense arthropods being inserted into the soil and pulled out made Tang Erda turn his head vigilantly. A silver revolver appeared out of thin air and he held it tightly.

Tang Erda moved cautiously around the spot where the strange sound was made. His thumb flicked the magazine to load it and he aimed the gun at the trembling rose bush.

The gorgeous and lush flowers kept shaking and trembling. The things hidden in the soil approached Tang Erda little by little through the trembling flowers. There was a strong smell like the decay of rotting leaves.

The trembling continued to approach and finally stopped at a distance of around half a meter from Tang Erda.

Tang Erda moved carefully, his body half crouched as he used the other hand that wasn't holding a gun to separate the flowers and leaves hiding the creature close to him. Meanwhile, the gun was firmly aimed at the place where the trembling last stopped.

That thing also seemed to know that Tang Erda was aiming a weapon at it and it remained motionless for half a moment. In the end, it was defeated by the aroma of petals in Tang Erda's sack and a roaring humanoid monster rushed out of the dirt.

Its body was covered with red, soft mud that was still dripping down. Only the outline of a humanoid creature could be faintly seen and the skin and flesh were all opened one by one, like small pieces supported on the outside. The leaves that were about to wither were black and the bones were like the stems of plants. The blackening flesh fell from the bones and the skin was the same yellow as dried leaves.

Every time the monster took a step, the hanging 'leaves' on its body trembled. As it moved, the dirt on its face finally dripped off and revealed a rough, real appearance. The eyeballs were sunken and blackened, the flesh on the right side of the face had all withered and there was no flesh, only bones. Yet strangely, there were white, dense and granulation-like bone spurs squirming on its cheekbones like they were about to grow out in the next second.

The monster lifted its eyeballs that were about to fall out. Inside was a pair of roses that had withered to the point of dying. It opened its mouth that had rotted to its nostrils and gums and made an eerie, hoarse sound. "I want perfume! Give me perfume!"

The flesh that squirmed on its bones instantly stretched out, turning into long, flesh-colored tentacles with stomata that stabbed at Tang Erda. The places on its body that hadn't fallen and had only bones were instantly filled with these thick, squirming tentacles.

Tang Erda was waiting for this monster to attack him first. It was only after the monster attacked him that he could trigger the monster book.

[System tip: Congratulations to player Tang Erda for triggering the monster book.]
